Actually the Monster set at 60 lbs was surprisingly easy to draw. It was very stable at the shot also. It was a pretty large and heavy bow which I don't like. The Monster and the Strother SR71 were my favorite speed bows of the bunch. Both had that little hump at the end but not bad.

:)that's not your dad's bow. True, but I am unsure of how much these newer bows actually affect the strategy of bow hunting. It still comes down to scouting and scent protection. At the end of the day I may have a deer in the back of my pickup and Dad may have one also even though he is shooting an antiquated bow. Bow hunting has been going on for thousands of years. Doug |

Doug, The New Breed Genetix is the favorite bow of a good friend on AT. He has owned and always buys the best bows available and loves his Genetix. I have never seen one in person but everyone who owns one gives them rave reviews. Nice looking bow with some great accessories !  |

There are many fine compound bow offerings from more than the big three (Hoyt, Mathews, Bowtech) out there. Athens, Elite, Maitland come to mind. New Breed Archery is the only one that I know of where you can call the owner and talk with him about the desires of exact draw length, exact poundage, strings and an almost unlimited assortment of colors and finishes. The Genetix is a fine shooter for sure but what makes New Breed different is that I can call Kyle Null of NBA up right now and tell him that I want to trade the cams or limbs for others that he has and he will accomodate. I previously owned a used Genetix which had a draw length that was 1/2" short for me. Kyle agreed to swap the cams even though I was not the original owner. He said that his interest is in keeping the NBA bows out there in the customers hands not on who the original owner was. He even repaired bows that had been damaged by dry fired by second and third owners at no charge except for shipping.
That type of concern and customer service seems to be a dying breed into today's society.

Nice Doug, Is that going to be your 3D rig? How do you like that Accel sight? The New Breed looks like it has matching cams like the Bowtech Binary cam system. Also I notice that it doesnt have the roller guard and wondered if that is an option from NBA. I know one thing ,when you know how you want your bow set up it sure makes for clean cams. Not all of those superfluous adjustment holes like the rest of us. Joe

Didn't do too hot because I have committed myself to a back tension release and am trying to get used to it. It was alot of fun though. I am not sure about the roller guard option. I have always shot with a cable slide without problems. What is the advantage to the roller guard? Doug |

Doug, from what I have been reading the roller gaurd flexes laterally to absorb lateral torque from the cables. The rod on the conventional slider doesnt flex so it transfers the torque to your risers and causes lateral knock travel. I guess the roller guards dampen another force that makes you wiggle.

That is very interesting. I have always wondered why the pinch of the nock and the rest and the sight pins don't line up exactly. It always seems like the sight pin is always a little to the left of the line of nock and rest points. Probably because of some cam lean caused by the torque of the cables being controlled by the cable slide. Just a guess on my part. Tom Post of Swinglock was kind enough to purchase the 6.5 mm Swinglock muzzleloader back from me as I was extremely frustrated with it. I used that money to purchase this bow with some pretty expensive accessories and also sent my Pac Nor barrel and Savage action and bolt to be powder coated in olive drab and still had enough left over to put a clutch in my truck.....lol All things work toward the good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. I am extremely blessed man to have good family and good friends and good accessories in my life....lol (tongue in cheek comment of course) Doug |
